THE ANTI-MORMON LAW UPHELD.
The mormon power in Salt Lake is not likely to be serene and happy hereafter. That power has claimed that the anti-mormon law, known as the Edmunds-Tucker bill, would be declared uncon-stitutional by the supreme court. But such is not the fact. The court has de-cided that the law is constitutional and must be obeyed.
It is now twenty-eight years since the first law which was signed by Loncoln was enacted to suppress polygamy. Dur-ing all this time the mormons have kept up a legal warfare against such acts. When the Edmunds bill was introduced in congress it was believed it would stand all tests and do much to check polygamy. But instead of obeying it the mormons continued to fight. They took it finally to the supreme court in the idle hope of finding some flaw in it that would prevent its enforcement. There is no flaw, however, in the law and it is assumed that it will now be put in force in good earnest.
